721 We are not nouveau riche!
readx;
The sun tore through the dark clouds overhead and sprinkled it on Manchester!
The open roof directly above the Red Rebels Stadium shone in slanting golden rays of sunlight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Due to the early kick-off time of this game, it was only 4 o'clock in the afternoon when it ended.
The players stood on the wet pitch one by one sweating, and although the drainage system of the Red Rebels Stadium was very advanced, it was still unable to drain all the stagnant water in a short period of time, and it was a little slippery to step on.
"Well done, Aron!" Chelsea's midfield core Deco suddenly took the initiative to walk towards the Red Rebels' youngster Aaron? Ramsey smiled and took off his jersey, "Can I change it?" ”
Deco's shirt was already dirty, the number 10 shirt was sky blue, and Ramsey's shirt was a red green and gold striped jersey, number 26, which represented the respective status of the two players, but the latter was only 18 years old.
Ramsey had tears in his eyes, but he took off his jersey and handed it to Deco, in the process, he pretended to inadvertently wipe his eyes and wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, he didn't want Deco to see him crying.
Crying, that's a sign of weakness, the players of the Red Rebels are not weak, especially in front of mortal enemies!
'Today you were generally doing well, but with Cesc Fabregas and Michael? Compared to Johnson, there is still a bit of a gap, keep up the good work! Deco said encouragingly.
Ramsey knows that he is still young, and in any way, he is not close to Cesc Fabregas and Michael? Johnson is at his level, but he has potential, and the coaching staff and the club have a lot of confidence in him and are very optimistic about his future.
Originally, the team also considered sending him on loan to Sunderland to give him some game training with the Black Cats, but Ramsey wanted to stay because he felt that it was a very rare opportunity for him to compete and train with so many high-level team-mates, and although he could not play the main starting line-up in the Red Rebels, he could get a lot of opportunities off the bench and in some cup competitions.
'Do you know why we were able to equalise at the last minute today?' Deco suddenly smiled and looked at the hairy boy.
Once upon a time, he was as young as Ramsay, and at that time he was not even as good as Ramsay, so he was a little envious of Ramsay's background, and the players who came out of the Red Rebels were always particularly eye-catching, not like he was back then.
The feeling of coming to Portugal from Brazil is incomprehensible to outsiders!
Deco is one of the luckier ones, he played out and became a world-class star, but there are many, many people who have been through the same experience as him, and they have all sunk in the Portuguese professional league, and even gave their lives before they arrived in Portugal.
So, all the while, he cherished his career!
Ramsey shook his head, he just felt that the more the game got to the end, the more motivated the Chelsea players became, as if they were on drugs, something his previous opponents had never done before.
"We have found our football beliefs, and if we give us time, we will be able to beat you in this stadium!" Deco said confidently.
"Fart!" Ramsey fought back almost without hesitation, "Here, we will never be defeated!" ”
Deco was stunned for a moment, but soon laughed, "Cute little ghost, there is no undefeated team in this world, and there is no undefeated stadium, you will lose sooner or later, but when the time comes, you don't have to cry like you are now!" ”
Ramsey's face flushed, and he was secretly scolding himself for not being angry, but was it just a bad mistake that led to the loss of the goal? Coaches often say that if you make a mistake, you must be like a man, hold your head high and dare to take responsibility!
Thinking of this, Ramsay raised his head high, as if he was afraid that Deco would look down on him again.
"Anyone who wants to invade our Red Rebels at the Red Rebel Stadium must pay the price of blood, and we Red Rebel players will definitely do everything we can, even if we try our last bit of strength, we will defend the sacred temple of our Red Rebels!"
When he said this, Ramsay was particularly resolute!
Deco smiled, "That's right, but you don't have this ability yet, come on, and one day in the future, you can be like Fabregas, or Michael?" When Johnson and others are like that, you're going to be a good opponent! ”
Frankly, in this game, Ramsey was killed by Russ except that time? Except for Diarra's steals that led to mistakes, which caused the Red Rebels to concede the ball, he performed well at other times and had the style of a big general, which is why Deco took the initiative to ask him to change his shirt and give him encouragement.
It's a strange move to change the jersey, as if every young professional star has this urge when they see a new up-and-comer, hoping to encourage them.
Of course, there are people who have other ideas, but Deco doesn't!
Ramsey watched Deco turn away, but his eyes were full of determination!
Michael? Johnson's status and reputation in today's football is not lost to Cesc Fabregas, who has performed so well in the European group stage that he was named the best midfielder in the Champions League group stage, which made Mourinho feel comfortable letting him play in the Champions League, while Cesc Fabregas played more in the league.
Of course, the appearance of the two is not so clear-cut, it is more depending on the opponent and the situation of the team at the time, and there is another game this season in which the two played together.
Sooner or later, I will be as strong as they are!
........................ "Mr. Rijkaard is a very good manager, although we didn't have a good first half, but I have to say that we are on the right path and he will lead us to great things, but I hope the board can give him a little more time!" ”
As the captain and soul of the team, Frank Lampard openly expressed his support for Rijkaard in an interview for the first time!
This was a shock to the reporters in the general interview area of the Red Rebels Stadium, because Frank Lampard was openly backing Guus Hiddink during the summer coach draft, and now it seems that he has been convinced by Rijkaard's football, is it just because of this 2-2 game?
Those who really know and know Frank Lampard know that the Ironman has been in the Premier League for many years and is used to seeing big scenes, and he certainly won't change his mind because of a draw, and what really changed him was what Rijkaard said in the dressing room.
Frank Lampard is used to seeing his teammates come and go, and he also knows that people from the outside world don't call Chelsea well, nouveau riche, rubles, mercenaries and whatever, all with contempt and derogatory, but Chelsea's performance in recent years seems to cater to these names, and the players have come and gone without any memory.
Are we really nouveau riche? Is it the ruble corps? Is it a mercenary?
Frank Lampard knows very well that someone has to step up and change the situation, and this person is ideally the manager, and Ancelotti is obviously not such a candidate, so his departure, Lampard did not stay, he even hoped to bring in a strong manager, so he supported two people, Hiddink and Scolari.
But Abu did not choose any of them, but Rijkaard.
Frank Lampard was not optimistic about Rijkaard, who he felt was not the manager who led Chelsea to unity and glory, and the first half of the league seemed to confirm his thinking, but in this game, at a critical moment, Rijkaard's determination and fighting spirit, as well as his pride and confidence, shocked Lampard.
At that moment, a thought struck him: perhaps, this man could really bring faith to Chelsea!
So, he fought this game, and he won!
With two goals, Frank Lampard became a hero for Chelsea, helping Chelsea to a draw away from the mighty Red Rebels, while also playing one of Chelsea's most tactically significant and spectacular games of the season.
At the same time, it also played the confidence of the Chelsea people!
It turns out that by sticking to Chelsea's football, Chelsea's beliefs, and Chelsea's philosophy, we can also fight with the Red Rebels!
Sometimes, that's how faith is beaten!
While Lampard's opinion of Rijkaard has changed, that doesn't mean the media has changed his opinion of him.
'However, Rijkaard has not been able to bring much change to Chelsea this season and is currently fifth in the table, a long way from the title......
The media was just trying to encourage Frank Lampard, but the latter is well-informed, so how can he fall for it?
"Don't mention the championship, I don't want our team to be blinded by the championship, we should be very aware that the championship needs to be accumulated, it needs to be accumulated, but over the years, our team has been changing, has been adjusting, our lineup seems to be strong, but in fact, our cohesion is constantly declining!"
"We won the championship and we were very united that year, but what about after that?" Frank Lampard was thrilled: 'I'm not trying to attack my team-mates, I'm good friends and partners on the pitch with Ronaldinho and Deco, but I would say that while we're crazy about bringing in stars, should we strengthen the team's internal builds? ”
"The strength of the Red Rebels lies not only in their football, not only in their honor, but also in their internal unity, from today's game, we can see that as long as we are united, we can fight with the Red Rebels, draw or even defeat them, in this case, then why should we go in the opposite direction?"
It is clear that Frank Lampard's remarks were addressed to the Chelsea management, who are the captain of the team, and he felt that he had to step up at this point and take responsibility for the good of the team, not for Abou!
"I hope that the board of directors can really make long-term plans, really start from reality, we pay attention to youth training, but we don't pay attention to the players from youth training, which makes youth training a formality; We focus on bringing in stars, but we never pay attention to retaining them, which makes our team a transit point, and such a team can win championships? ”
'It's time for us to reflect, to trust Rijkaard, to believe that he is a great manager who can give us faith and results, and I believe that if Manchester United had not trusted Ferguson, there would have been no Manchester United dynasty in the years that followed, and we are in a similar situation to Manchester United back then.
With the exception of Frank Lampard, Chelsea's players almost unanimously called for support for Rijkaard in interviews, which made all outsiders wonder how it was as if Chelsea had been completely kidnapped by Rijkaard in one day.
Could it be that Rijkaard said something in the dressing room? Or was it something that was done?
Even his old rival, Red Rebels manager Jose Mourinho, had to admit that Rijkaard's performance in this game did surprise him a little.
'He's led Chelsea to a different kind of football than he used to, it's more suited to the Premier League, it's better suited to Chelsea, I know he's found the threshold, they really deserve a point in this game, but in the next game, when we're at Stamford Bridge, I'll beat Chelsea, beat Rijkaard!'
And for this game, a mistake at the last critical moment caused the team to get 3 points to become 1 point Aaron? Ramsey, Mourinho chose to continue to give confidence.
'Aaron is a very talented player, he is only 18 years old, but he has already shown a maturity and a big style that his peers do not have, he has a bright future ahead of him, and I will not judge him because of this game.
"Yes, it can't be denied that he made a mistake in this game, but who hasn't made a mistake? Every player has come through the mistakes and matured, and I'm sure Aaron can do the same and he will be the future of our team. ”
At the end of the Red Rebels game, at Old Trafford in the west of Manchester, Manchester United won a difficult 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough with a goal from Quaresma in the 79th minute.
Both teams fought fiercely in this game, with Middlesbrough defending successfully but unable to escape the individual play of the star, Guardesma curling a shot after getting rid of two players in a row, but Turnbull could not stop it.
With Quaresma's goal, Manchester United got three points and once again narrowed the gap with the Red Rebels to one point, while Arsenal and De Roysden also beat their opponents by one goal and Liverpool beat Newcastle 0-5 away.
After 20 rounds, the Premier League title situation has become more chaotic and complicated, which makes everyone have high hopes for the second half of the Premier League, after all, in the winter break, the team will be appropriately supplemented according to the shortcomings of the squad, and the strength will be improved, which will further strengthen the competitiveness of the second half of the league.
And after this round of matches, the draw for the knockout round of 16 of the European Champions Cup has officially begun!
